Inspiration:

My mixed media original one-of-a-kind artwork is entitled Sunlight Shimmers on an Autumn Evening. This artwork is inspired by my love of nature's colours, textures and patterns. I love how the golden glow of the sun in the fall shimmers across the water. Yellow and blue is a classic colour combination, but this is particularly true in the fall, when there are the autumn leaves changing colour and they play with the blue skies. I added some grey to complement the colour composition and to speak of the rain and mist that often accompanies the autumn time of the year.

This painting is part of my Woven Contemplation series, inspired by the history and tradition of textiles. I find textiles endlessly comforting, whether they are a jumper knitted by my mother, a scarf that I've knitted, or some Christmas tree ornaments that I've hand stitched and embroidered. Textiles are comforting and historic. From a visual perspective, textiles have so much texture and pattern, and this is part of what I was trying to evoke with these textile-inspired series of artworks.

I strive to create artwork that is beautiful and inspiring... artwork that transports the viewer into another world... art that is calming and serene but also full of life and energy. I adore strong colours that jump out of the painting and grab attention. The bolder the better! I've created this artwork using inks, acrylic paint and water on luxury heavyweight Fabriano watercolour paper. The thickness and texture of this specialty paper allow the inks, paint and water to play together and enable me to create some wonderful patterns and textures. To add some additional detail and interest to this artwork, I've also used some white pencil and paint pen.

I am driven by a need to create. I’m happiest when I’m creating something beautiful – something that inspires, lifts up and brings joy and colour to the world. Something that hopefully others love to look at and gives them joy.
